Chapter 235: Bad Luck
Xu Youyou didn’t know much about cold weapons. Apart from a few well-known weapons in history, she didn’t know anything about other weapons. She couldn’t even describe the shape of this dagger.
The system replied after five minutes: [Don't touch.]
Xu Youyou had been playing with the dagger for a while, and when she heard the system's words, she hurriedly put the dagger back into its original box.
"What will happen if I touch it?" Xu Youyou asked. The system's voice still had no emotion: [Nothing will happen.]
Xu Youyou was just about to breathe a sigh of relief.
Then the system said: [You will probably be unlucky for a while. ]
Xu Youyou:!!!
Xu Youyou suddenly thought of Little Green Hair's experience: "This dagger is just an unlucky thing. Is Little Green Hair so unlucky because he is defeated by this thing?"
The system ignored her.
But Xu Youyou really didn't dare to get too close to the dagger. She called the bodyguard in: "You hold this thing, and we go back."
On the way, she also witnessed the ability of this thing to harm people. The car everyone was riding in was obviously fine before departure, but the car she and the bodyguard holding the dagger were riding in suddenly broke down on the road.
Xu Fang contacted a mechanic to come and help in the shortest possible time. However, the mechanic had a car accident on the way and could not make it in time.
Seeing that Xu Youyou seemed unwilling to stay outside, Lu Jingyao contacted a car to pick them up.
Coincidentally, the car that came to pick them up had a flat tire as soon as it arrived in front of them.
"What's going on today? Why do everyone's cars seem to be so disobedient?" Xu Fang sighed in a low voice.
Xu Youyou touched her nose and forced herself to look away, not daring to look at them at all.
Lu Jingyao immediately contacted other cars, and until the fifth car, it was finally parked safely in front of them.
But the car stopped after driving less than 1 kilometer.
After getting off the car to check, the driver said helplessly, "Mr. Lu, I don't know who left a bunch of nails on the road. The tire is punctured. I'll take you and Ms. Xu back to the hotel first, and then go to fix the tire."
Lu Jingyao nodded.
But when the car started again, it swerved on the road and was soon stopped by the traffic police.
"Sir, please show me your driver's license. Someone has reported you for drunk driving." The traffic police said politely.
The driver felt very wronged and cooperated with the alcohol test. He repeatedly said, "It's really just that the car broke down. I came to pick up the boss back to the hotel. How dare I drink?"
Although the traffic police were willing to let the driver go, they still did not recommend continuing to drive the car when the situation was not optimistic: "Sir, you should call someone to fix the car first."
After experiencing so many strange things, Xu Youyou completely gave up the plan of taking a bus back to where she lived. She was also afraid to continue taking the bus in case she got into a car accident, which would be too late for regret.
She glanced at the distance shown on the map and said to Lu Jingyao, "Why don't we walk back? It's only five kilometers."
Lu Jingyao glanced at Xu Youyou and saw that she was wearing sneakers. He nodded and said, "If you are tired, let's take a break. Don't try to be stubborn. If you can't do it, you can just scan the bike over."
Xu Youyou didn't want to try any car for the time being. She glanced at the bodyguard holding the small box, and saw a roadside shop selling suitcases. She decisively went in and bought a suitcase and asked the bodyguard to throw the small box in.
She didn't know who was more unlucky between herself and the bodyguard, but she hoped that the more layers of protection she had, the further away she could be from bad luck.
Xu Youyou did not have an easy time walking the five kilometers. Her shoelaces came undone and she almost fell. Another time, there was a big pothole on the road and she almost slipped.
Fortunately, Lu Jingyao always held her hand and pulled her back from the brink of injury several times.
"If it doesn't work, let's go to the temple to pray tomorrow." Lu Jingyao also felt Xu Youyou's unusual condition.
Xu Youyou nodded vigorously: "Let's go early tomorrow morning!"
As she was talking, Xu Youyou wasn't paying attention and almost tripped over the protruding steps.
Lu Jingyao quickly supported the man and said, "Slowly walk, we are not in a hurry."
Xu Youyou was about to nod when she suddenly felt a chill on her forehead. She looked up at the sky. The sky was clear before she went out, but now it was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and raindrops as big as beans hit her more and more violently.
"No way, you're playing tricks on me like this?" Xu Youyou complained.
An umbrella suddenly appeared above her head.
It turned out to be Assistant Liu, who actually tied a portable umbrella to his calf. At the critical moment, he very reliably delivered the umbrella to his boss, which led to Lu Jingyao's extremely boyfriend-like performance.
Xu Youyou couldn't help but sigh now. If it weren't for Assistant Liu, Lu Jingyao would probably still be single.
The two bosses shared an umbrella. The others who were not so unlucky could either find the nearest shelter or rush directly to the nearest store and then run out with another armful of umbrellas.
It took the group of people two hours to reach their destination, a distance of just five kilometers. They were so exhausted that they were all starving and wished they could eat a whole cow.
“Cough cough cough!”
Eating was not all smooth sailing. Xu Youyou got a green bean stuck in her throat because she ate too fast. If Lu Jingyao had not rescued her in time and taken emergency measures in the shortest time, Xu Youyou would have almost died because of the bean.
After finally finishing the meal and about to rest, Xu Youyou, for the sake of safety, sent the others away and asked Lu Jingyao privately: "Can you...can you...can you accompany me tonight?"
This was the response plan Xu Youyou came up with after struggling. Originally, the most reliable companion was Xu Fang, who was also a woman. However, on the return trip, she stood next to Xu Fang several times, and Xu Fang, who was always quick to react, was unable to save her in time. Instead, Lu Jingyao's hand was faster.
Xu Youyou did not blame Xu Fang. Instead, she felt that perhaps Lu Jingyao had better luck.
For her own safety, she wanted to take advantage of Lu Jingyao's good luck.
When Lu Jingyao heard this, his ears turned red and he didn't dare to look Xu Youyou in the eye. After a long struggle, he finally made a decision.
"This... this is not appropriate. It will affect your reputation." Lu Jingyao said softly.
Xu Youyou immediately realized that he had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "I was afraid that something would happen to me alone. I seem to be particularly unlucky today, as if the bad luck of the little green hair has spread to me."
The shyness on Lu Jingyao's face faded away instantly, and his expression became serious. He coughed lightly as if to cover up and said, "It turns out that I misunderstood. I will accompany you."
